Senior veterans and their surviving spouses may qualify for disability pension income, often called the Aid and Attendance Benefit, to support eldercare. Eligible veterans can receive up to $2,795 per month, while surviving spouses may receive up to $1,515 per month, in addition to their current income. Studies show that nearly 1 in 4 seniors may qualify for this valuable program under the right conditions.

List of State Veterans Nursing Homes

Veterans nursing homes primarily serve veterans with qualifying active‑duty service; some states also admit certain Reserve/National Guard members and spouses. Most offer nursing care; some provide assisted living or domiciliary care. No income/asset test in most cases, but eligibility and waitlists vary. Apply directly to each home for bed availability; other VA benefits may fit better.
